André Onana will return to the Manchester United team for their crucial Europa League clash against Lyon, head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed.
Onana was omitted for the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday after making two errors in the first game against Lyon last week.
But the goalkeeper will return for the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday, replacing No. 2 Altay Bayindir.
Joshua Zirkzee will miss the game against the Ligue 1 side after being ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury picked up at St James’ Park.
“Onana will play [on Thursday],” Amorim said.
“I just think first of all as a coach and also as a former player I try to do things that help a player in this situation. This week my thinking was to put Onana to play.”
